I'm not accepting any crazy person in my party. Only sensible people allowed! I went into the Hall of Heroes and paid good money for a Sarah Wilson or something. She's a knight, seems alright, doesn't seem crazy, can use a sword.

You actually misinterpreted Madora's character. She's more of a paranoid superstitious type with a backwards education. Cyseal is basically a frontier island. Missing the conversation where you

convince her to stop being a racist

is a shame.

 

[Lorcain]

Whenever NPCs seem impressed by the accomplishments of my party of 4, I imagine that my 2 protaganists and Jahan would all just point to Madora and say, "Thank her, she kills everything."

Madora, wrecking monsters and self-esteem. It's what she does.

Are we talking a render ahead queue or true triple buffering?

Someone smarter than me is going to have to answer that. There's just a new "triple buffering" checkbox in the video options.

The inn, upper floor. There's a trader in one of the rooms there who sells those.

Bought and remote downloading. Can't wait to get home and load this up. Been waiting for a new game in the vein of Baldur's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights for a while.

My roommate and I decided we wanted to just be two guys adventuring together without companions, so double lone wolf on first playthrough. It's brutally hard, but I like the idea so we trudge on.

 

[sueil]

Cain is the most over powered character in the game his stats aren't even legal. I would use him so hard but I am lone wolfing for my third playthrough.

I've been considering this. For those that have finished the game or made it to some of the later areas with only 2 players and no companions, how manageable are the bigger encounters when it's like 2 v 10 or when there is a boss with massive outgoing damage?

 

[antitrop]

Finally have some time to sit down and put into this. Finished the tutorial boss and really think I'm going to like it.

 

[Eternia]

While I do love all the combat tracks I would have preferred a few more that get rolled out as you progress into the new major areas to keep things fresh.

Agreed, even the final boss doesn't have its own unique theme. Seems like an unfortunate oversight.

Hit the Demonics Ram first with ranged, they die fast and explode. You don't want them near you. After that, cast Rain and a summon if you have one.

Thanks to you both, also just gained another level so hopefully that helps.



And I've also seen people talk about some powerful witchcraft buff, what is it exactly?

It's actually the low level buff "Oath Of Desecration",which adds +50% damage for 3 turns and only costs 3 AP. Been using it almost in every fight, throughout the whole game. That alone is worth level 1 in witchcraft. I wouldn't skill beyond that tho.

But death punch is so fun...

I'm at work right now so I can't actually listen to this video, but I'm pretty sure Battle Force is one of the combat themes. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's my favorite.

That means you level it up for one other spell, which you only get towards the end of the game and which requires you to be very close to the enemy.

 

[Valkyra]

Another tip is to pre-buff before fights, but because rounds go so quickly only go for 1 per character max 2 characters (example: have one char buff then quickly swap and have another char buff then quickly start the fight soon as the animation finishes). Make it your most expensive buff, like haste, summons(can start with this and lose 2 turns on them making it 3 which is fine), and or shields for survivability.

This game is kind of inverted from standard RPG methodology. Most RPG's, mages start weak and end ultra powerful, in this it's Warriors who have that curve. Mages are still great in the end game, but more as support/utility while your 2hd warrior just wrecks the everloving shit out of everything in sight.

Summons are op even in Baldurs Gate. Just having that extra cannon fodder for your main party is all the difference.

One per profile. They're Kickstarter codes that backers apparently posted for anyone to use.
